Hi Simone - they are all so lovely! I really like the blue chippy highchair - stunning!! I used an old white chippy stepladder in my bedroom makeover, I think it cost us $5 at a farm auction. I am sure whatever you end up using, it will be stunning! I can't wait to see what you end up using:) Have a lovely day - Tina x

Good luck finding your latest treasure. I'm sure you'll have some fun with it! There are some nice (cheap) pieces going on ebay at the moment. Just wish I had more room to store stuff!Glad I found your blog (via Mels Rose Place)Angex

Go for some old suitcases!! (lol)I love them!!Did you buy your books from The Book Depository (TBD)?I priced one book I bought at 'Borders' today and it was $20 more there!!!! Mind you I have not seen all of the books I bought at TBD in Borders either.Irene x

I adore the last little green table!! I had a look last week in some op shops for some different pieces I'm after but couldn't find anything suitable. Hope you find what you're after. Enjoy your start to the week Simone x

Hi Simone love the images hope you don't get this comment twice my computer playing up (probably cos the operator is rubbish hee) I am sure you will find something adorable, I love the old suit cases stacked I had some as a little girl, they got thrown out years ago, if only I had a crystal ball then!!

Well, my vote would be a toss-up between photo two and photo three. I love the look of the floral material (or wallpaper, or whatever that prettiness is) under glass, and I think the glass would be easy to keep clean.And I absolutely love the uniqueness of the chair as a bedside table! Especially such a treasure as that vintage one in your photo. I wonder is it a vintage baby's high chair? That's what it reminds me of. How dear that looks! And I love the idea of the side handles, no worry of the vase spilling over sideways!Such a sweet idea, Simone! I may pilfer it from you if you don't mind!Have fun decorating!All the best,Eileen

ooo lots of choice! I love all the ideas...maybe you need to take a piece of old furniture and add to it in someway - make it unique...not sure how but I bet you have plenty of ideas knowing you! and it will be gorgeous! xxx

I love unconventional. I almost screamed when my husband ordered matching bedside tables. MATCHING! I won't even ask what he paid for them. Of course I like to change things up. I like sewing machine tables and anything that looks vintage. Lo and behold, I ended up with matching bedside tables. Can you imagine? I'm wondering how long I should wait before "recommending" a change?Brenda

I have been thinking about the same thing lately! Well, that and quirky storage ideas. Right now I'm using an old kitchen cart, which is nice cause I can store stuff in there haha, but its still not quite the right fit. These are great ideas though! My husband and I make furniture, and we made some bedside tables for a gal in Missoula, MT. You should have a look at them...I'm sure there's probably someone there in Australia who could make something similar for you! http://twigdecor.blogspot.com/2009/12/little-anthropologie-hack-for-ya.html

I really do love the cleanness of #1! All of the pictures found are quite inspiring though. Dont you just love the colors? Will you be posting pictures of your revamp? Have a blessed week filled with love, Cherie

Hi, New to your blog, just blog surfing and found it, love it. I am one of your newest followers. What a dream, you get to live in this wonderful home. Your daughter is precious, my youngest was a toe head too! She now dies her hair to keep it that color. I will enjoy keeping up with your adventures of life! Oops picture comments, I have several piano benches that I keep re-upholstering and using as bedside tables. A little low though, but they work well for the guest bedroom.

Simone darling, you are very welcome, my pleasure entirely. You and your blog deserve much more for the beauty, grace, charm and talent you post for our pleasure. I thank you for being an unconditionally kind follower…visiting me even when I am unable to return the visit and for leaving the most eloquent and sweet comments ever. Thank you luv.

I love the idea of the chair. Since it's a spare room and you won't need the nightstand to be too functional you could have a lot of possibilities! You could even stack some old wooden crates up, suitcases covered with rose paper, books, shelves, cabinet...oh the possibilities!

Hi Simone, Love them all! You can't beat cane. You can dress it up or keep it casual. I'm, not surprisingly, loving little travel trunks, hat boxes etc in a stack at the moment, and old chippy paint milking stools and small step ladders. I agree it's fun to use something different or as my friends say "that's odd" haha.
